Developments overseas drive security concerns on The Hill. Charlie wins a poker hand and loses his cool. Security takes a hard look at Frank Winter. Abby and Helen are in different subterfuges. And Akley goes to Washington. <a href="http://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/tv/a12437/manhattan-episode-11-recap-tangier-17291790/">"Magpie," the American spy inside the German atomic-bomb project, has been discovered. The Nazis have separated his tongue from his body, shutting down any news on the Third Reich's bomb-building efforts. This prompts a severe response at Los Alamos, but is not the only door being opened or closed this week.</a><br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.atomicheritage.org/article/manhattan-episode-11-spies-secrets-lies">The rivalry that exists between the two design groups in “Manhattan” was never a reality at Los Alamos during the war. “The idea was to have various group leaders usually describe what the group was working on and what their main problems were,” says Diven. “Very frequently it would turn out that somebody who had not associated with them at all would come up with an idea of something that would actually be important.”</a>tag:fanfare.metafilter.com,2016:site.8151Sat, 19 Nov 2016 23:42:24 -0800the man of twists and turnsManhattan: The Understudyhttp://fanfare.metafilter.com/8113/Manhattan%2DThe%2DUnderstudy%2DFirst%2DWatch
Frank, Charlie and Lazar try to figure out how to make an explosion go inwards. Abby and Elodie get existential. And a visitor from California comes seeking answers. <a href="http://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/tv/a11347/manhattan-episode-10-recap-the-understudy-17260788/">Hotshot physicist Charlie Isaacs and onetime adversary Frank Winter have teamed up to make an plutonium bomb that will actually work—unlike the "Thin man" project Charlie is supposed to be leading. Few others know what they're up to, and if they can't solve the problems with the shockwave needed to compress the plutonium, it will cost them their jobs, maybe even their careers. The problem: it's impossible. That is at least, according to a phalanx of British scientists and Los Alamos's resident explosives expert, Lazar, the Russian Cowboy. Isaacs and Winter need to turn explosions inside out, so that the shockwave is concave (bending in) instead of convex (bending out).</a><br>

The problem of creating the shaped charges was left to George Kistiakowsky, the leader of the Explosives Division on the Hill. “He was the only one that really knew about how to make explosive lenses in an innovative way,” recalls William Lowe, a chemical engineer at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project. “They had to coordinate the absolutely accurate timing of setting off the lenses so that the explosion wave arrived and that compression of the little sphere, the center of the bomb, were at the same time, so it would squeeze it instead of blowing it apart. That was an awfully difficult problem to solve.”</a>tag:fanfare.metafilter.com,2016:site.8113Mon, 14 Nov 2016 13:27:57 -0800the man of twists and turnsManhattan: Spooky Action At A Distancehttp://fanfare.metafilter.com/8058/Manhattan%2DSpooky%2DAction%2DAt%2DA%2DDistance%2DFirst%2DWatch
Charlie becomes head of THIN MAN, with some conditions. Those conditions amount to lots of math in highly-compartmentalized groups, and a direct line back to Implosion. Liza takes a job working in the clinic, and Abby goes to dinner. Frank gets blackmailed, and helped out of a sticky situation. "<a href="http://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/tv/a11291/manhattan-episode-9-recap-spooky-action-at-a-distance-17236241/">Newton's laws of motion state that for every action, there is an opposite reaction. For Sir Isaac's forces, the reactions are always equal. But does that hold true for people, like Charlie Isaacs? When the world pushes you, how hard do you push back? It's a question several characters will have to contemplate.</a>"<br>

"<a href="http://www.atomicheritage.org/article/manhattan-episode-9-all-implosion">While the rivalry between the two design groups in “Manhattan” adds an interesting level of tension to the show’s storyline, the real physicists at Los Alamos were encouraged to collaborate with one another to solve complex problems. As laboratory director, Oppenheimer convened weekly colloquia for division leaders and key staff to solve difficult problems with open brain-storming sessions.</a>"tag:fanfare.metafilter.com,2016:site.8058Sun, 06 Nov 2016 00:34:37 -0800the man of twists and turnsManhattan: The Second Cominghttp://fanfare.metafilter.com/8032/Manhattan%2DThe%2DSecond%2DComing%2DFirst%2DWatch
Charlie has (two) five AM revelations. Frank, desperate for funding, material and people, tries to use Crosley to recruit the newly-arrived British delegation to the Implosion Group. Hogarth, the senior physicist, and Crosley get along like a house on fire. Charlie needs numbers from Site X and has to make a decision about THIN MAN, and Abby gets on a train. <a href="http://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/tv/a11310/manhattan-episode-8-recap-the-second-coming-17210043/">Charlie and Theodore make a distressing discovery.

At Site X, Charlie and Helen prevent some bad chemistry from over-reacting, and have some good chemistry of their own. Frank and Liza help out with security clearances, and Abby, I mean, Ann, goes out for a night on the town. <a href="http://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/tv/a11256/manhattan-episode-7-recap-the-new-world-17201074/">Frank steps out of the lab and into a marital minefield.

Los Alamos was more than just a place where world-renowned scientists went to figure out how to harness the energy of the atom.

We enter into a well-stocked lab with serious people working ... and Nazi flags flying.

Charlie gets in over his head with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_Man_(nuclear_bomb)">Thin Man</a> team, and hears a tall tale from Glen Babbit (Daniel Stern). Peeved, Charlie comments on what he knows of Babbit's pre-war friendships, which reaches the ears of X-2 (Richard Schiff). This forces Frank to dig up some old material of his own. <a href="http://www.atomicheritage.org/article/manhattan-episode-5-secrets-security-growing-tensions"> Secrets, Security &amp; Growing Tensions</a> <blockquote>One of the major tensions of the show so far has been between Frank Winter and wunderkind Charlie Isaacs with “a once in a generation mind,” according to his boss Akley. Not only are Winter and Isaacs on opposing teams, there are major tensions between them stemming back to Winter’s refusal to approve Isaac’s dissertation for publication. When Isaacs spills a secret that imperils Winter’s friend and colleague Glen Babbit, Winter doesn’t flinch. He makes sure Isaacs’ wife Abbie is listening in as a telephone operator when Winter tells his father that Isaacs had plagiarized in his dissertation.</blockquote>tag:fanfare.metafilter.com,2016:site.7997Thu, 27 Oct 2016 12:54:22 -0800the man of twists and turnsManhattan: Last Reasoning of Kingshttp://fanfare.metafilter.com/7965/Manhattan%2DLast%2DReasoning%2Dof%2DKings%2DFirst%2DWatch
Fathead goes over the top.
Back in 1943, Frank Winter has trouble sleeping, and learns that psychoactive meds require a full workup. Paul shows off his classical education, and degree from Oxford. Rat analogies abound. Charlie Isaacs meets J. Robert Oppenheimer (Daniel London), and a new assignment. God (Christian Clemenson) comes to visit. Frank goes for a walk. <a href="http://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/tv/a3109/what-manhattan-gets-right-and-wrong-about-los-alamos-17033716/">What Manhattan Gets Right, and Wrong, About Los Alamos</a><br>

Recaps from <a href="http://www.atomicheritage.org/article/manhattan-episode-4-unintended-consequences">The Atomic Heritage Foundation</a> <blockquote>“Manhattan” has now portrayed two real scientists in the show: Bohr and Oppenheimer. The actor who played Bohr, although he did a fine job, did not really look like the serious, long-faced Bohr. Daniel London, who played Oppie, does look startlingly like Oppenheimer – except for the eyes. Oppenheimer was famous for his bright blue eyes. In his interview, Dimas Chavez, a young boy at Los Alamos during the project, recalled Oppenheimer’s “majestic blue eyes.” “Manhattan” continues to portray Oppenheimer as brusque with his subordinates, but this episode also highlighted his eloquence in his toast to Bohr. We are looking forward to seeing where Oppenheimer’s storyline goes and which other real scientists the show chooses to introduce. We would love to see Richard Feynman play a prank on somber Frank Winter!</blockquote>tag:fanfare.metafilter.com,2016:site.7965Mon, 24 Oct 2016 23:11:59 -0800the man of twists and turnsManhattan: The Hivehttp://fanfare.metafilter.com/7945/Manhattan%2DThe%2DHive%2DFirst%2DWatch

Brilliant young physicist Charlie Isaacs (Ashley Zuckerman) is recruited to work on a top-secret Army project in the summer of 1943. He drags his wife (Rachel Brosnahan) and son to a little outpost -<a href="http://www.atomicheritage.org/location/los-alamos-nm"> PO Box 1663, Los Alamos</a> - in the New Mexico desert. Charlie is called to work for Dr. Reed Akley (David Harbour) on something called "THIN MAN."<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, misfit physicist Frank Winter (John Benjamin Hickey) leads a small, underfunded team on an alternate design, the Implosion Group. It consists of Glen (Daniel Stern), Fritz (Michael Chernus), Jim (Christopher Denham), Helen (Katja Herbers), Paul (Harry Lloyd), and Sid (Eddie Shin). He clashes with the security program imposed by the Army colonel running the site (Mark Moses), and pleads for resources from Robert Oppenheimer (Daniel London).<br>
Frank also has troubles on the home front, having himself dragged his botanist wife (Olivia Williams) and teenage daughter (Alexia Fast) to the site<br>

<a href="http://www.avclub.com/review/manhattan-complicated-and-captivating-207316">Manhattan is complicated and captivating</a><blockquote>What’s encouraging, though, is that Manhattan is more than just its setting—in fact, the first two episodes presented to critics go well out of their way to shake up our notion of what a World War II story is. Despite many available clichés, the narrative eschews anything obvious—this is a character drama first, and a war story second. Or to be more exact, it’s a character drama that is using the setting of Los Alamos, New Mexico, the site of the Manhattan Project, to pull all of its characters through the wringer.</blockquote><br>
